Ministry in Practice: A Graduate’s Reflection on Faith and Formation

In a world that increasingly wants to distance itself from God, I get to spend a fair amount of my time working with those who seek to grow closer to Him. I inherited, among other things in my ministry, the OCIA (Order of Christian Initiation) processes for four parishes that ultimately became combined into a regional program. It was daunting but exciting because I had spent a lot of time preparing for this via my previous two years at St. Bernard’s.
